Public statement on recent developments regarding my duty as Administrator of Vlora International Airport - VIA Sh.PK
Dear media representatives,
Dear colleagues,
Dear citizens,
I am triggered by the reports and news widely distributed in the media regarding my dismissal from the position of Administrator of Vlora International Airport - VIA Sh.pk, after a period of almost four years in the management of this company of particular strategic importance for the Albanian state.
From the outset, I would like to emphasize that I have not been officially notified of such a decision and have not received any formal act or communication from the competent bodies of society. So far, the information I have comes only from media reports. As a result, I remain completely uninformed about the causes and legal reasons that may have motivated such an action.
However, I assure you that in the exercise of my duties as Administrator, I have always acted in full compliance with the Company's Statute, the Concession Contract, as well as all other applicable legal and regulatory framework. Every decision or act on my part has been based on the principles of legality, transparency and accountability, with the aim of developing and successfully completing this strategic and important project for the Albanian state.
That said, what I can communicate today with complete conviction is that any possible reason is not related to the performance, dedication, or conscientious and responsible exercise of my duties and obligations as Administrator.
In this sense, the reasons and motives for such a decision should and will be sought from the shareholder who took this decision, which constitutes a serious deviation from the principles of good corporate governance, ethical norms and professional standards that must be respected in the administration of a project of this nature.
Under the current circumstances, I reserve and will exercise all legal means and avenues provided, in order to protect my rights and my professional reputation, as well as to clarify any misunderstanding or misinterpretation in public opinion.
Also, until further notice, I reserve the right to make any additional comments and invite the media to consider this statement as final.
In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that the Vlora Airport project has been and remains a project of particular importance to me personally and professionally. For almost four years, I have worked with maximum dedication to advance this major project, which is now in the final phase of works and on the verge of starting operations.
I express my sincere gratitude to the extraordinary staff of VIA for their professionalism and dedication, to the Albanian public institutions for their support and cooperation, to the financial institutions that have believed in this project, and to our subcontractors and partners, who have contributed with professionalism to its realization.
With respect,
Valon Lluka
